Betws-y-Coed. Sitting amidst the picturesque scenery of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in Betws-y-Coed, North Wales, is this fabulous, detached cottage of Glyndwr Bach. A stylish base for a couple who love the outdoors, Glyndwr Bach rests moments away from the delights of Gwydir Forest Park and the Ty'n Llwyn Walking Trail.

These meals can be tucked into at the adjoining breakfast bar or brought out to the private patio, where you can savour an alfresco dinner before enjoying a well-earned dip in the neighbouring hot tub. After soaking up your peaceful surroundings, make your way inside again and climb the spiral staircase to find a welcoming, mezzanine double; the space features the sophisticated touch of a glass balustrade and is bathed in natural light, courtesy of the Velux windows. In the morning, freshen up in the ground-floor shower room, where slate tiling not only gives a nod to the surroundings but gives the space a sleek feel. After embarking on a hike along Afon Llugwy to Swallow Falls Waterfall or climbing up to Cerigiau Gleison, travel a short way to the centre of Betws-y-Coed, where you'll be welcomed by a range of superb eateries, from Y Stablau to Hangin' Pizzeria, where you can reward yourself with a delicious meal.
